I'm trying out the app (as a free user) and as far as I can tell it has the same limits as the web app. I was hoping with the "partnership" and all they'd throw us a bone. But nope. I even signed in using my Apple ID.
Why is this Mx only?
Oh wait, I guess you can talk to the desktop app. Except *I* can't talk so that doesn't help me lol.

Yeah. But most people forget ChatGTP isn’t for getting information. It’s not a facts database and merely just produces word salads that sound good.
I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. Again, it comes down to how you use it and if you are getting poor results, that is a user issue. You need to ensure you define your prompts correctly.
Not working on macOS Monterey, i.e. on a still supported version of macOS. I don't understand these hipster developers, who think everybody will switch OS versions just to run their app.
I understand, they are currently dating.Has anyone asked ChatGPT what it thinks of Siri?
Morally you might be right. Other than that, I would argue you can not just search companies servers because you feel like they doing something illegal, so you literally can’t prove it.
Also, have you used these tools? I did nowhere opt out of my data being used for AI training because LLMs are so dann useful. We need them. It’s no joke, this is really the next big thing. It’s like as if cars were made illegal within their first few years because of the emissions. We’d still be out here riding horses. Ofc climate change is a thing but you can’t deny the positive effect combustion engines had on the human race. Same goes for AI.
Also this is just how things are going. We are blurring the lines between humans and machines, which to me just seems to be the next logical thing in evolution. Where is the difference between me listening to Metallica and then writing a sick metal song inspired by it vs. AI doing the same? As long as I don’t copy it or use (parts) of the original, at which point exactly did I break the law (morally)?
Yes, thank you
Huh?
No, we don't "need" them
Very much remains to be seen
A really flawed comparsion
We'll see
Such simple things they can always build in later. Or just use a date calculator/google?
It shines in teaching. Whatever you want to know, the explanation is excellent.
How so?
If we’d listen to opinions like yours we would never see. In fact AI has helped solve many problems, use google for sources.
Define need? You might not, but I do, in a sense that I don’t ever want to spend a day in my life without AI because it’s such a useful tool. If you want do ride horses instead of driving thats good w. me.
Why so many people stop being excited about new tech at some point? Why y’all afraid of change so bad. You wasn’t out there “advocating” against the internet back then, were you? Or against Google. Or Wikipedia.
If you wrap your macbook in tinfoil it will prevent Sam Altman and Tim Apple from spying on you. /j
You sure you got the actual app? Sounds strange to me as if you got some random app from the app store pretending to be ChatGPT.
Usually ChatGPT costs 20$, and they only notify you when you reached a limit for the 4o model within a 3 hour window. But you still can use the 3.5 model after that! There is no 6 questions limit anywhere 😬
U sure you download from openai.com?
Let’s turn this post around:
Developers don’t want to waste cycles writing extra code to support a legacy OS version that came out 3 years ago. I don’t understand these boomer customers, who think that everybody will add code for their OS versions just to cater to a percentage who are less likely to spend money on the paid version of the app they want people to run.
i dont. I just say, dont use openai. They are creepy. Their ceo is creepy and pervert. And they are definetely villain. Their ai will not be good for humanity.

From my previous intensive 2yrs+ of experience with Xcode, some aspects of it are darn complicated, especially when Apple is doing everything to push things forward. This includes Apple conveniently releasing bug fixes and developer features on their modern frameworks here and there (like SwiftUI and Combine—once even a plain simple button appearance option 😢) that are hard-wired to work only on their newer versions of OSes or hardware. The entire platform, from silicon to front-facing products on both ground and cloud, is almost entirely theirs, and the giant just naturally keeps stepping, I guess.

Except I have the most awesome, fast 2017 4TB SSD, 24 GB RAM, 5k, iMac which was not cheap. Next mac will be entry level mini with 3rd party monitor.
So this is never comming to Intel Macs? Kinda sad. Was not expecting it to be treated like apple intelligence. Saw someone write "needs apple silicone for current and future features" and wondered how this would be a thing since it's essentially a web integration.
